When she reached the vicinity of the staircase on the fifth floor, Hongxing unexpectedly found that the two warrior monks who were in charge of guarding them were actually gone.

She hurriedly turned her head and reminded Xiao Qiongzhi, who was following closely behind: "County Lord, Xiao-"

Before the words were finished, two masked men in Tsing Yi flew down from the upper floor of the fifth floor, quickly grabbed her and Xiao Qiongzhi left and right.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly pulled the red apricot, turned around and ran downstairs.

Hongxing was afraid of dragging Xiao Qiongzhi down, so she only ran a few steps before breaking free of Xiao Qiongzhi's hand: "Miss, you go first, leave me alone, I still have the kind of medicinal powder on my body just now, which can help you resist for a while." ”

As she spoke, she quickly took out a small paper bag from her arms, turned her head in the direction that the masked man in Tsing Yi was chasing, and blew hard.

Xiao Qiongzhi was really a little crying and laughing, and while pulling her away again, she reminded: "You are stupid, they are masked, the medicine powder in your hand is useless, it is better to call for help-"

"Help-" Hongxing came back to her senses and really began to call for help.

It's a pity that before they had time to spit out the word "save", a few masked people in Tsing Yi flew down from upstairs, and they shot at the same time, restrained her and Xiao Qiongzhi at once, and escorted them into the pavilion on the fifth floor.

The pavilion was empty, except for the north side against the wall, where there was a row of shelves of scriptures.

There is a piano stand by the window on the south side, on which a light brown piano is placed, looking at the color and workmanship, it is more simple and luxurious.

Xiao Qiongzhi searched in his memory, suspecting that it might be the first place in this continent, which was once famous.

The west side is empty.

On the east side of the window, there is a square table.

The whole table is a large chessboard, on which not only are the checkboard lines drawn, but also a lot of black and white chess pieces are scattered.

On either side of the table, a man dressed as a son of a family sits on each side.

The one on the left, dressed in a white cloth woven with gold brocade, looks long and slightly thin.

His facial contours are soft, his complexion is white and delicate, his facial features are as delicate as a woman's, and he has a pair of slightly raised peach blossom eyes, which are as mellow and intoxicating as his daughter's red.

The forehead is slight, the willow eyebrows are slightly light, the nose is slightly hooked, and the red lips are relatively ruddy and full.

When he saw Xiao Qiongzhi and the others coming in, not only did he not get angry, but he also looked at them curiously with a smile on his eyebrows.

The one on the right, dressed in a jade brocade robe, looks tall.

His facial contours are elegant, honey-colored skin, handsome facial features, and a pair of red phoenix eyes, as mysterious and clear as stars in the night sky, and his forehead is clear.

The sword eyebrows are slender, the nose is square, and the red lips have a soft lip line, but a little thin.

When he saw Xiao Qiongzhi and the others coming in, he didn't get angry, just raised his eyebrows and stared at Xiao Qiongzhi's eyes with a smile, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and her heart.

Behind him, stood a man in white about his age.

This person is tall, has a graceful temperament, and has a long and jade charm, but his facial features are very ordinary, and he belongs to the type that makes people look at the first glance and will not immediately think of looking at the second glance.

Xiao Qiongzhi's hanging heart immediately put it down.

She knew two of these three men, the first was Jiang Yi, the prince of Dongxing Kingdom, and the second was Qin Mingxuan, the prince of Southern Qi Kingdom.

They studied at Linfeng Academy together with Xiao Qiongzhi's cousin Xiao Jinjia, not only classmates, among them, Prince Yi is Xiao Jinjia's good friend, and Prince Xuan is Xiao Jinjia's sworn brother.

When Xiao Qiongzhi first returned to Beijing, he went to Linfeng Academy and visited Xiao Jinjia, and often saw them.

In the past two years, she has seen their portraits in Xiao Jinjia's study, and heard Xiao Jinjia comment on them.

Xiao Jinjia said, Prince Yi, a humble gentleman, it's okay to be a friend, but it's not okay to be a brother, because he will persuade you to sacrifice yourself for others at a critical time, it's not cost-effective.

Prince Xuan, it's okay to be a brother, but it's not okay to be a friend, because he is very black-bellied, and he can only be sincere to his brother if he uses each other and turns his face against each other afterwards.

Last time, in Zhilan Academy, they saw Yan Shuhui "bullying" her, and when she "fainted", they came forward to help her punish Yan Shuhui.

She couldn't figure out if they still recognized her.

The main prince's mansion is a rule, and after Xiao Qiongzhi has passed the age of hanging hair - after he reaches the age of eight, he is not allowed to visit Xiao Jinjia in the academy, and there is no chance to meet Xiao Jinjia's classmates.

At the same time, in addition to going to the palace and asking Xiao Xuanliang and Xiao Han to say goodbye, Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng rarely take her to participate in visiting relatives and friends, in case she is coveted.

Including her identity as a student at Zhilan Academy, it is all fake, and the background information is that she is recognized as the righteous daughter of Zhou Dazhi, the general of Chu State, Xiao Qiongzhi.

In fact, her surname is Xiao Zirao, Qiongzhi is her maiden name, except for close relatives and relatives and distant relatives who have a particularly good relationship, no one in Beijing knows that Xiao Qiongzhi is Xiao Zirao.

Xiao Qiongzhi pretended not to know Prince Yi and Prince Xuan, and deliberately turned his head and whispered to Hong Xing beside him in a voice that they could hear: "Hong Xing, these two people have extraordinary appearance and good manners, not only do they not look like bad people, but they are also a little familiar." ”

"You've been out and about shopping for me all the time, have you ever seen them or heard of them?"

"Miss, when the young lady asked me to go to Linfeng Academy and send things to the eldest young master, I saw them from afar."

"They are classmates of the eldest young master, and they seem to have a good relationship with the eldest young master, they should all be good people!" Hongxing immediately replied in the same decibel voice, dripping watertightly.

She has always been by Xiao Qiongzhi's side, Xiao Qiongzhi once saw the portraits of Prince Yi and Prince Xuan in Xiao Jinjia's study, and she knew it very well.

However, there must be a reason why Xiao Qiongzhi wants to pretend not to know them, and she has to cooperate well.

"Miss, one of them is His Royal Highness Prince Yi of our Dongxing Kingdom, and the other is His Royal Highness Prince Xuan of Nanqi Kingdom next door."

"The slave has seen them too, just when you fell off the swing last time, at that time, you fainted, I don't know."

"It was because they arrived in time that the vicious Miss Qiu of the Squire of the Military Department, the two maids who commanded the two maids, failed to scratch your face with a dagger, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." At this time, Qingtao suddenly interjected from behind to remind.

This idiot! Didn't she fool that little novice on the second floor? Why was he caught so quickly?

Xiao Qiongzhi was taken aback, and couldn't help but turn her head to look back, just in time to see Qingtao looking at her with a happy expression.

Xiao Qiongzhi was helpless, so she had to pretend to be surprised, and greeted Prince Chongyi and Prince Xuan: "It turned out to be the two princes, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't recognize it, thank you for saving me last time." ”

"It's a trivial matter, you're welcome."

Prince Yi nodded at Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile, and asked gently, "Why did Zhi'er instruct Yahuan just now to stun those warrior monks guarding the third, fourth, and fifth floors?" ”

"If I say that the fifth floor of this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the most suitable for browsing the scenery of the entire backyard of Zhaoguo Temple, I just want to quietly come up and take a look, His Royal Highness Prince Yi believe it or not?" Xiao Qiongzhi asked a little depressedly.

"You mean, you didn't know you were here, not here to get close to us?" Prince Xuan didn't believe it, and asked in a deep voice before Jiang Yi could speak.

"Of course, my brother is accompanying my mother and offering incense in the front hall."

"If I knew that you were here and wanted to get close to you, I could have asked my brother to come to you first, and then give us an honest introduction, why should you be treated as a disciple like now?" Xiao Qiongzhi didn't expect that he would have this kind of suspicion, and he was even more depressed.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Prince Yi wanted to hold back his laughter, but he didn't hold back.

He covered his mouth with his fist, faked a few coughs, and said, "Zhi'er, that's not how 'Dengzi' is used. ”
